Other Winter Fun
Skiing and snowboarding are just the
beginning when it comes to winter fun. Those with the need for
speed can throw their leg over a snowmobile and check out the
winter sport with the flattest learning curve in the world. Prefer
canine power to horse power? Try a dogsled ride. Or hang out with
your kids (or your inner child) on a snowtube. Do you want to learn
more about Mammoth? Take a gratis tour of the mountain with one of
our guides.
Dog sled rides from Main Lodge
Not all sleigh rides require a hill and not all vehicles require horsepower. Case in point, dog sled rides that begin at Main Lodge, where your tasks are limited to getting comfy on the traditional sled, covering-up with a thick blanket that are provided, screaming "Mush" and enjoy the ride as the malamutes and huskies do their thing.
